TARRAGONA/BILBAO, Nov 29 (Sw) - Both Gimnastic and Athletic Bilbao have appointed new coaches to replace Cesar and Sarriugarte.

Both Luis Angel Cesar and Felix Sarriugarte were fired earlier this week due to poor performances.

Paco Flores coached Segunda Division outfit Almeria last season, finishing 6th. Before that he led Zaragoza back to the Primera Division in the 2002-2003 season, and won the Copa Del Rey with Espanyol in 2000.

Mane managed Levante last season, while his greatest achievement was reaching the legendary UEFA cup final with Alaves against Liverpool in 2000-2001.
